I must be getting old. Reading Thinglish is really beginning to give me a headache.

[Nibbles48]

You think its bad now?

Wait till Asean 2015. Then you will see how many Thais will have their jobs taken by foreigners.

For a sneak preview, go look at the UK right now.

[Pattaya28]

Maybe if Thais spoke understandable Russian Chinese and English, they would be able to hold their own as a tour guide.

How dare Farangs take away Thai jobs.

Thai people not poor enough?

Farang not rich enough?

Merry a Thai woman, and your head blow away...

Predictable human weakness.
Constant low-level xenophobia punctuated by spikes in outright finger pointing toward foreigners everythime the ship lists.

Every society in every civilization in every part of the world, ever.
Predictable.

[craigt3365]

And how many Thais are working abroad taking away jobs from the locals there? I'd bet a bunch.

[somchaismith]

What's wrong with foreigners?

Foreign Tour Operators Taking Thai Jobs

How about some out-of-the-box thinking like making tourism business a restricted occupation. No wait !

[Costas2008]

You, bloody foreigners, you come to our country....take our jobs......marry to our women and HAVE children with them......can't speak properly our language, etc. etc.

I'm trying to remember....in which country....did I hear the above comments before!

The Congo?

[dukebowling]

They tuuk our jobs!

[anon8]

Yeah, but if a Thai would try to sell a trip to Quai river, or a day trip to see some cave, 6 hrs of bus ride away to a Russian tourist, he or she wouldn't sell even 1 trip a day.

Russians don't understand Thai, Russian tourists here have been told to watch for scams, and now they suspect scam on every corner.

They only trust a Russian tour operator.

But Thais get lots of employment out of the deal, the only Russian who took job away from Thai, is a Russian chick or a guy, offering tour leaflets to passing Russian tourists, and arranging the day trip scedule and payment.

LOL

There are loads of them and many working illegally in restuarants etc. Many got busted in Melbourne Aust last week, working for cash in hand in resturants not paying taxes, employers not paying superannuation or declaring earnings. Happened to a nieighbours son, he is now back in Thailand after being deported after getting caught up in the raids.

A grand title indeed but I'll bet their activities won't match it.

Thais refuse to learn languages to better communicate with the tourists they want to provide a service for. Foreigners who can communicate step up to fill that void. Thais get angry and are too arrogant to see their own short comings. As it was said above, totally predictable.

ASEAN is going to be awesome. Can't wait.

I was quite surprised when my wife's uncle called and asked to speak to me. He doesn't speak English at all...at least until now! He works for the border police and they now have a requirement that all officers need to take classes to speak English. His daughter is also helping him. He's now on Line with my wife chatting in English.

I'm blown away. Maybe there's hope yet? Of course my trip to the local car dealer yesterday wasn't so good. Hardly anybody there could speak English and the one or two who did could barely communicate. Disappointing.

[CraigSchuler]

My first two trips to Thailand I used the services of Thai guides and as I look back now I was pretty much ripped off at every stop of our day trips.

Vice squad?

Yes, I have met very few Britts that actually speak a language that is understandable, I can understand why they are loosing their jobs to more linguistic people...

"Deputy directing general of department of special investigation, DSI, opened the office and of illegal influential people ....."

Is Thaksin behind this too?

Hmm.. Greece? :>

"This is to address issues regarding security of tourists by fraud, intimidation, threatening physical harm ... which was happening on a daily basis".

...all of which stems from illegal tour operators, as opposed to jet ski mafia, tuk-tuk drivers, ATM scammers, motorcycle taxi riders, and countless other similar scumbags...! Really...??

Where do they come up with these names.

[madmitch]

Looks like there are no foreigners taking Thai jobs at the Pattaya Daily News. Surely only a Thai could write English as badly as in this article!

[LuckyLew]

Teach thai people inrish and cutmer churvish and not be neebing dis goup

[PeterSmiles]

Maybe those Thai tour guides should first learn to speak a language that foreign tourists understand, then there would probably no reason to hire more expensive foreign tour guides.
